In your bonus Patreon podcast for March, Chris sits down with Nathan Scarff, who was DCFC Head Groundsman from 2015-2018 - which includes the period when the club installed the pitch which came in for national criticism this month.
Nathan told SBW what Mel Morris said to him when Derby installed their new playing surface, the 'interesting ideas' the former owner had for the Pride Park pitch, and what's caused it to deterioriate so noticeably in recent weeks. He also explained the process of maintaining an elite football pitch, the Derby manager who wanted the grass long to stifle the opposition... and his thoughts on astroturf gardens.
